HP Absorb

Percentage of your damage that can potentially become healing. Has no effect without Max HP Steal Per Hit.

Overview

HP Absorb determines what percentage of your damage can be converted to healing. However, requires both HP Absorb and Max HP Steal Per Hit - for any healing to occur.

Two-Step Process:

1. HP Absorb: Calculates potential healing from damage dealt
2. Max HP Steal Per Hit: Caps the actual healing received per target

Practical Example

Scenario: 5% HP Absorb, 50 Max HP Steal Per Hit

• Hit for 1,000 damage: Potential healing = 1,000 × 5% = 50 HP
• Actual healing: 50 HP per target

Scenario: 5% HP Absorb, 20 Max HP Steal Per Hit

• Hit for 1,000 damage: Potential healing = 1,000 × 5% = 50 HP
• Actual healing: 20 HP (limited by Max HP Steal Per Hit)

Scenario: 10% HP Absorb, 0 Max HP Steal Per Hit

• Hit for 1,000 damage: Potential healing = 1,000 × 10% = 100 HP
• Actual healing: 0 HP (no healing without Max HP Steal Per Hit)
